If you had to say one good thing about all these outfits, you’d might be tempted to use the words “on trend.” But look closer and you’ll notice they’re not quite in alignment, more “slightly off trend.”

Sadly, they’ve taken some of our favorite trends of all time, like the power suit, palazzo pants, and monochromatic looks, and basically failed them. We expect better from celebs like Catherine Zeta Jones, Rose Byrne and Charlize Theron. And yes, one of the looks on the list features a tie made of wood. We know. It’s weird.

These celebs put new twists on classic trends, and we wish they didn’t

Catherine Zeta-Jones

Catherine is doing a new take on the monochromatic woman’s suit by wearing it complete with a vest, but she too looks borderline 1920’s gangster. Maybe tuxedo vests on women were ruined for us by the great cropped vest plague of the early 2000s.Getty Images

Cher

The top half of this outfit is very Cher. Although fans appreciate how unique her style is, we don’t really love it in this instance. If the leather jacket didn’t have the white designs on it the top that looks like chainmail made of washers would be able to sit centre stage. She could even keep the hat.Getty Images

Ashley Rickards

We’ve haven’t seen a look be this balls-to-the-wall bad in at least five years. And while we have to admire her confidence, the only element that we could maybe work with is the blazer. As for the wooden tie, we have no words. Getty Images

Elizabeth Chambers

We’ve seen a lot of dresses following the looks-like-a-sketch-on-paper trend, and we think it’s very cool and kind of meta, but Elizabeth’s dress is sort of lame. Its use of the sketch trend is the only thing about this dress that’s interesting, and it’s not enough to hold the whole thing together, unfortunately.Getty Images

Freida Pinto

Freida’s makeup is enviable as is the idea of a pastel power suit, but this one is so boxy and weirdly shiny. Just switching from a double breasted jacket to a single breasted jacket would make this outfit more flattering.Getty Images

Garcelle Beauvais

This tangerine colour is amazing on Garcelle, but does there have to be so much of it? The pairing of the matte dress and the shiny trench coat over it is also not great. This is a perfect case study in being too matchy-matchy. She should ditch the jacket or get one in a different shade.Getty Images

Joanna Krupa

As a model and Real Housewife of Miami, Joanna is way better than this bad figure skating costume. She’s executing on the Venom-looking bodice, but it is totally ruined by the frilly skirt and sleeves. This is the kind of look only Cher can rock, and even then, it’s more about wow factor than actual style.Getty Images

John C. Reilly

John C. Reilly seems like a cool dude in real life, but he rarely stands out for his style. He’s eye-catching here, but maybe not for the right reasons. The plaid suit could actually be really cool, but the hat and his mustache make it look comical and very ‘20s gangster, like a joke you’re not sure you’re supposed to laugh at. Getty Images

Julianne Moore

Wednesday Addams could pull this off if she had to dress girly, but on Julianne, the girly and goth sides don’t feel like they get along. The collar she’s pulling off, but not the flowery black lace. Maybe it would work in a nice joyful white.Getty Images

Britt Robertson

Britt might play a #GIRLBOSS in the Netflix series, but this look is only girl. Young girl. The biggest problem is the juvenile looking top, complete with kiddie flowers and bows. Just taking those off would be a remarkable improvement, and make Britt look like the powerful woman she is.Getty Images

Sophia Amoruso

As the real life GIRLBOSS who Britt Robertson is playing, we expected more from Sophia. This yellow dress is bold, that’s for sure, but it doesn’t have any of the youthful rebellion that the brand she founded, Nasty Gal, has. She could stand to lose the flower thing and 80 per cent of the ruffles.Getty Images

Charlize Theron

Where Britt Robertson only got the “girl” part of the message, Charlize seemed to focus only on the “boss” part. In this outfit she would definitely be the flyest girl at the office, but at this premier it just looks a little boring. Sophisticated and professional, but boring.Getty Images

Katherine Heigl

Does it feel like you’ve seen Katherine Heigl in exactly this outfit before? The hair, for sure, at least a hundred times. We just wish she’d try something a little outside of the box. She doesn’t have to go super edgy, since we know that’s not her, but just a bolder colour or a modern cut would be fantastic.Getty Images

Natalie Morales

Where this look goes wrong is that it’s depressing, and it’s not just because it’s black. Black can be exciting and bold, but the way this dress just kind of hangs there make us feel like the flowers on it have wilted. Shortening the skirt to take it out of tea-length territory it would give this look a much-needed boost.

Rosario Dawson

Rosario Dawson rocks floor-length dresses well, but this neckline and swirly pattern of the sequins make us want to file this in the “not well” category. The strapless mini-cowl makes the top look too small on her, and the swirls in the sequins are a little busy on an already bold dress.Getty Images

Rose Byrne

Rose experiments with colours and shapes normally and her fans love it up, but this dress is a little too garden party meets flower girl at a wedding. The cut of the top looks like one that would be made purposefully more modest because it’s for a little girl, and the poofy skirt doesn’t exactly help the image.

Teresa Palmer

We love these over the foot palazzo pants on Teresa, but this sheer ruffled top is killing us. The pants are such a clean, bold statement, and the messy looking top isn’t complimenting the vibe. Something more form fitting with clean lines would make this outfit much more cohesive.Getty Images
